REVIEW RESPONSES! (Important reviews that need to be answered only, Gomen. I have other things to post as well)

Optatus Crepusculum: Arigatou! Hehe, I recommend your fanfiction because I wanna know what happens next; even though all my reviewers already read yours XD. O:, I was bored so I put Natsume as a "knight-and-shining-armor" XD and thank you for updating "Yummy Love"!

Irumi Kanzaki: For now, I can't answer your questions, it'll spoil the story. Gomen T.T

kmc27:Of course Mikan won't fall asleep when Natsume just said "Sleep." It's kind of obvious he has a power to do that XD. Or...let your imagination guess how he did that XD 'cause...I don't know either o.o

kate:No worries! I'll keep updating!

Ok, time for another announcement! READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE STORY. Here are a few Q&A's you might as well ask.

Q: What the hell, Natsume remembered his past!?

A: That...is left unknown for now...

Q: Persona is the good guy here?

A: That depends actually. I think he is neither good nor bad. So that's why I chose him to be ALMOST another main character in the story.

Q: I'm so confused!!!!

A: You're supposed to be confused. You absolutely thought I will reveal the whole plot within one tiny chapter?

That's all I can think of! Feel free to ask any questions, but like I said, not all of them will be answered!

Chapter 4

"The flowers are so pretty..." a little girl mumbled, staring at the daffodils swaying softly by the wind. She knelt down and picked up a flower, holding it up to her face and smelled it. Flowers were the girl's favorite items, unlike other girls who like make-up, accessories, and all that girly things. "Hey, are you going to stay there all day or are you going to play with me?" a little boy said, startling the girl. "Hey don't scare me like that!" the girl said, bringing one hand to her heart as if she just had a heart attack. The boy just grinned and tagged her before running away.

"Matte!" the little girl yelled, chasing the boy who interrupted her peaceful day.

"Not until you catch me first!" the boy said, laughing and running away from her.

The little brunette paused a little, catching her breath. She crossed her arms and pouted such a cute sight to see. She said, "No fair meanie!" The boy was suddenly next to her, patting her back gently. He said, "You need more exercise, P--"

"Ugh..." Mikan groaned. She couldn't feel her body or her head. It was as if she was run over by a monster truck two or three more times. Mikan opened her eyes, taking in her vision of where she is. Unfortunately, all she saw was a blur.

'Where...am I...?' she thought.

"Are you alright Sakura-san?" a familiar voice called out.

"Ruka...pyon?" she weakly replied. Seems her voice is as weak as her body as well. There was only one question floating around the brunette's mind. What the hell happened last night?

"Finally, you're such a heavy sleeper," a deep voice muttered. Somehow, she heard that voice over her head instead of beside her like Ruka-pyon's.

"Natsume?"

"What polka-dots?"

Mikan's vision suddenly cleared up. She saw Ruka-pyon sitting down beside her smiling with Usagi, his pet rabbit, in his arms. As for Natsume...he was holding her in his arms as if it was the last thing he could do before he dies. Usually, Mikan would scream bloody mary at him saying he is an enemy to all women again but she was far too weak to move or say anything. Natsume had his arms wrapped around Mikan's waist while she had her hands gripping his shirt as if she was afraid that if she let go, he'll disappear. Natsume still had his feet on top of the table and Mikan saw Usagi holding up a manga book, enough for Natsume to read. It was so typical of Natsume to be lying back down, reading a manga book. Mikan slowly looked up at him, showing him those big brown orbs everyone loves to see everyday. "Why am I in your arms?" she said harshly. She didn't like the idea of being in his arms unexpectedly. Sure she has developed feelings for him but this is going way to fast for her brain to compute.

"It's not like I wanted to do this," he replied emotionlessly. "You can ask your so-called best friend about this situation."

"Hotaru?"

Speaking of the Ice Queen, she just came to Ruka's side, sitting on his desk with a black camera in her hand. She had a devilish smile on her face; before she took a picture of the newly 'couple', she simply told them, "Smile."

"Hotaru!" Mikan squeaked out with a tint of blush on her cheeks. Normally, she'll chase her best friend to grab that blackmailing picture from her grasp, but she was too weak to move a finger. "Natsume, why aren't you doing anything!?" Mikan thought Natsume is being out of character again, he seems to be always be that way ever since Persona...'OH GOD, DON'T TELL ME HE LISTENED TO OUR CONVERSATION!!!' Mikan screamed in her mind. She might be physically weak, but her mind is still strong as ever, not to mention dense as well.

"I wouldn't be in this position still even if I want to get away from your ugly face," he said monotonously. "Use your brain for once, idiot."

"I swear if I wasn't so weak right now, I would have punched you right now!" Mikan grumbled. Most of the class who has strong hearing was shocked by this. Little Innocent Mikan Sakura being violent to Natsume Hyuuga? They cringed at the thought knowing it's not a pretty scene to watch.

"I want an explanation," Mikan weakly demanded. People around her looked like her as if she developed a new personality. A new personality that is Natsume-ish. Very unlike Mikan Sakura.

"Well..." Ruka started.

Flashback

Natsume was carrying a sleeping Mikan Sakura to their homeroom since they did not change out of their uniform. He violently kicked the door of their classroom, nearly tearing the door off of its place. The sudden noise almost gave the whole class a heart attack. But what really almost gave them a heart attack was at the scene of Natsume carrying Mikan in his arms. Almost all the girls fainted from the sight.

"Natsume?" Ruka called out confused. He still has a minor crush on Mikan Sakura, but he felt like a brother to her instead of a lover. He knew his best friend has suffered too much in the past, so he decided to give Mikan to him. After all, he believes Sakura is the only person who can change Natsume's personality. It seems that Natsume has been affected ever since she came to the academy. Ruka inwardly smiled. "Why are you carrying Sakura-san?"

"She fell asleep on me last night," he replied sitting next to his best friend. The girls who just fainted heard this and fainted again. "She wouldn't let go of me ever since,"

Ruka just grinned at him. It entertains him when Mikan and his best friend are always together. Even if some refuse their relationship, he knows that they will be together sooner or later.

"Oi, Hyuuga," a soft voice called out. Natsume and Ruka turned towards the inventor only to see her carrying a huge dooms-day device… Just kidding, she was carrying a rather large bazooka. Ruka got out of her way just in time but Natsume was caught off guard when a blue light engulfed him and the sleeping brunette. After the light died down, Natsume opened his eyes only to see a smirking Hotaru.

"What the fuck was that for!?" he cussed out. Boy, today was not his day alright.

"An invention of mine," she replied emotionlessly. "Invention #105, the stick-together bazooka. It's used to stick two bakas together for a week without leaving each other. Perfect for planning to hook up two hopelessly-in-love bakas,"

"That is the most pathetic name I ever heard!" Sumire Shouda screeched. She was angry that Mikan got stuck with Natsume instead of her. "Why did you use that invention on that idiot!? Why couldn't it been Natsume and me!?"

She was suddenly hit by Hotaru's baka gun. She held her head which had a big bump on, crying waterfalls chibi style like Mikan. The class just sweat dropped at the sight, thinking Sumire was poisoned by Mikan's idiocy.

"I don't take orders from anyone," she said emotionlessly. "Besides, Mikan is the only person that I allow to test my new inventions."

"Then why did you use it on me then!?" Natsume asked, annoyed. He did not like where this was going. He could really tell by that smirk on the inventor's and his best friend's faces.

"She was in your arms," Hotaru said with a smirk. "Besides, this invention only works with two people,"

Natsume wanted to burn her. Badly. But he knew he couldn't do that even if he wanted to. Mikan will kill him if he did that. Besides, he knew she was wearing fire proof clothes so he couldn't do anything about it. Curious about her invention, she did say they couldn't be separated for a week. He decided to test if she was telling the truth.

"Oi Mochu," he called out. "Get this girl off of me,"

"Yes Natsume-sama!" Mochu saluted. He tried to pry Mikan off of his arms but when he did, she magically was in her arms once more.

'What the heck,' everyone thought besides Ruka and Hotaru. Ruka turned to Hotaru and smiled at her while Hotaru smirked at him in return. Did they plan all of this? Maybe.

"Don't think my inventions can fail Hyuuga," Hotaru replied. "Come on, Ruka-kun,"

She began walking towards out the door, expecting Ruka to follow him. She started to call him by his first name since Ruka was bugging her to do it. She only agreed if she can take embarrassing photos of him and surprisingly, Ruka agreed. It seems our animal lover boy develops new feelings towards another girl or he was used to being blackmailed by her. Either way, they are basically the same. When Ruka closed the door behind him, he let out a chuckle. Hotaru followed him by a snicker. They never knew their plan will work so well against them.

"One plan down, alot more to go," Hotaru replied with an evil smirked. Ruka just smirked in return.

End of Flashback

Mikan just stared at Hotaru for a long time. Of course Ruka and Hotaru never mentioned their little "plan" to her. Mikan couldn't believe Hotaru was THIS evil. She knew Hotaru was evil from the start, but she crossed the lines. She's even more evil than the devil itself!

"Mou, Hotaru," she groaned. "Now I am stuck with him for a week!?"

'Dammit!' she thought. 'Now Natsume will know EVERYTHING about the past!'

"Whatever," murmured Natsume and returned to reading his manga. The fan girls of Ruka and Natsume cried waterfalls while hugging each other saying they'll never love another hot guy again. 'As long as she's with me, Persona wouldn't tell her about those memories...that we...we...' he trailed off in his thoughts.

"Natsume, are you alright?" asked a worried Mikan. She knows that being stuck in his arms for a week or so is chaos but she still cares for him.

"Hn."

Mikan pouted and sighed. She knew it was hopeless for Natsume to open up to her so she gave up...for now. She buried her face in his chest, wanting no one to see the blush forming on her cheeks. Our fire caster too seems to develop a little blush on his cheeks but it was oblivious to his classmates except two familiar ones.

"Let this day end already..." Natsume muttered in frustration. He got fed up of sitting silently with the brunette in his arms who is almost going to fall asleep. He stood up and head out the door ignoring all questions that was fired at him. Mikan who felt the sudden movement woke up from her small nap.

"Where are we going?" she yawned. "Class isn't over for another 15 minutes,"

"Just shut up little girl," he snapped. "I wonder why you haven't lost your voice from yapping alot,"

Mikan just weakly glared at him. Even after a small nap, she was very weak indeed.

"Hey Natsume?" Mikan questioned. "What happened last night?"

Natsume stopped on his trails staring at the brunette who was looking at him innocently.

'Why in the bloody hell did she have to ask that!?' he cursed in his mind.

"Natsume...?"

"Just shut up," he whispered and continued to walk to a familiar destination.

Mikan was confused on Natsume's sudden actions but decided to ignore it. She turned her head to look where Natsume was taking her only to see their Sakura Tree that they always sit next to. A smile began to form on the brunette's lips when she thought of all the memories that were created when she was with Natsume here in this very tree. She owes Hotaru for moving here to the academy since she met Natsume Hyuuga again. She felt Natsume sitting on the Sakura tree, its branches shading them from the sun. Spring was coming for them for just a few more weeks and Mikan was excited. Spring has always been Mikan's favorite season of them all. She felt Natsume's grip on her waist tightened. She looked to her side to see Natsume's bangs covering his eyes and his head on her shoulder. Her eyes softened for a while knowing the pain the raven-haired boy had been through. She shut her eyes and hugged him. The least she could do is feel the pain he was going through with him.
